Black Angels - Waterloo Records, Austin TX - September 14, 2010


[from Austin, TX] I wasn’t going to say anything about this show because I’ve already said way too much about them, but they’re too good not to promote – lots of echo effects and classic songwriting is the key to their superficial sheen of ‘cool’ness – not to say that they’re only superficially good – they’re just so immediately striking that you worry they might be  – I think that they’re actually pretty down to earth people, though, who really love what they’re doing – they have a distinctive and modern sound of their own but also are definitively influenced by Spiritualized, The Doors, and Suicide – the record store was pack-ked and the young guys buying their record in line behind me discussed the band: Guy 1: So you’re buying their record?, Guy 2: Yeah, I mean, they might be influential someday, you know?, Guy 1: So where would you rank them on your list of all-time great bands?, Guy 2: uhhhh…. uhhhh…. 4th.
